I will be surprised if we ever get to see MVdP back on the XCO scene now.
I also don’t think we will see Pidcock if he knows he will get bumped to the fourth row for World’s/Olympics regardless.
I desperately wanted Gaze to be able to bridge up. I’ve lost a fair bit of respect for Pidcock after the XCC. His comments condemning the UCI for bumping MVdP and Sagan up after the XCO was at least something positive.
